Capture in the field
Does PropelMapper work offline?
Yes, PropelMapper’s mobile app captures field records offline, while transcription, report drafting and sending require a connection.
How accurate is the transcription?
PropelMapper does not publish an accuracy percentage for transcription, because the result depends on the recording: wind, engine noise, how far the phone is from your mouth and how many unusual names you say.

PropelMapper records video clips up to 30 seconds in the mobile app, with playback in the web visit record.
Does it record the weather?

Reports
How fast is the draft?
